| Issue | Suggestion |
|-------|-------------|
| Link doesn’t open | No service is listening on port 11501. Check if your app is running. |
| Port already in use | Change the app’s port or kill the process using lsof -i :11501 (Mac/Linux) or netstat -ano | findstr :11501 (Windows). |
| Access from another device | Use your local IP instead of localhost, e.g., http://192.168.1.x:11501. May also need firewall rules. |
| HTTPS required | Some apps enforce HTTPS. Try https://localhost:11501. |
